Just 9 ingredients make up this simple shaved Brussels sprout salad with apples and cranberries—a fresh, crunchy, and colorful winter salad perfect for your holiday table and lunchboxes all under 30 minutes!
In a standard bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, agave, mint, and orange juice (if using), until thoroughly combined.
Add the brussels sprouts, apple, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and dried cranberries to a large bowl.
Pour in the dressing and toss it together.
Notes
Tweak the dressing to your liking: You can adapt any of the dressing ingredients to your liking. I.e., more vinegar for tartness, agave for sweetness, possibly adding salt and pepper, etc.
Leave the salad to sit: If nothing else, I strongly recommend preparing the dressing at least 30 minutes in advance (or the night before). But, if you have time, I recommend preparing the entire salad and leaving the flavors to meld for 30 minutes minimum. This makes a more well-rounded, melded flavor.
To save time: Either purchase pre-shredded sprouts (my 2nd choice, as you lose out on freshness) OR use a slicing disk on your food processor to get the job done in practically seconds.
